Taste the whiskey on your breath
It's as much as I can drink these days
And I haven't finished yet
Just keep breathing in my face
Taste the poison on your tongue
Tastes like sacrament to me
And like a genuflecting reptile with St. Michael
I am starting to believe
Here I am now in your heaven
It's everything you promised me
It's your paradise
It's your pure life
And it comes to me
Pour the tonic down my throat
Throw the water in my eyes
Just like Romulus and Remus
Sink your fangs into my thigh
Whisper softly now in Farsi
The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
Something 'bout a glass of wine
A loaf of bread and thee
Here I am now in your heaven
It's everything to me
It's your paradise
It's your pure
It's your paradise
It's your world
It's your paradise
It's your pure life
And it comes to me
Hold very still now, baby
There's something by the bed
A viper or a butterfly
An angel or the magic of the dead
Taste the poison on your tongue
Tastes like ecstasy to me
Baby, we ain't makin' love
I think we're makin' history
Here I am now in your heaven
It's everything you promised me
It's your paradise
It's your pure
It's your paradise
A beautiful world
It's your paradise
It's your pure life
Here I am now in your heaven
It's pretty good to me
It's your paradise
It's your pure
It's your paradise
A beautiful world
It's your paradise
It's your pure life
And it comes to me
